Chen Heng could keenly sense the threat in this city.

Hidden under the peaceful surface was deep evil.

From how Chen Heng saw it, this city was like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

This was not just his own feelings; he could sense it from his interactions with Yang Cheng and the others.

Of course, it was not a big deal to him, but it was still a threat to the people around him.

As such, he had given the pendant to Chen Rou, hoping that it could protect her.

After all, she was his big sister.

Moreover, Chen Heng also wanted to gain some information through the pendant.

Chen Heng had split off some of his divine energy and left it in the pendant.

Through that golden pendant, he could sense everything that happened around Chen Rou.

Chen Heng could gain greater insight into this world through Chen Rou and obtain some more information.

Time gradually passed.

The next day, Chen Rou began to give some instructions to Chen Heng.

Everything seemed normal, but she was more naggy than usual.

In actuality, she was preparing him for the future.

She had no choiceCursed Lands were incredibly dangerous, and no one knew what would happen.

Even Chen Rou was not completely sure that she could make it out alive.

As such, it was good to make some preparations, or else she would not have the chance to in the future.

She grabbed Chen Heng and seriously gave him many instructions before leaving reluctantly.

Looking at Chen Rou departing, Chen Heng shook his head and also left.

As Chen Heng walked to school, he discovered some changes.

Outside, black fog would occasionally swirl and appear.

This fog represented curse energy.

In the past, this kind of black fog had appeared all over the city. Even though it was quite faint, it was still quite obvious to Chen Heng.

Of course, that was just to Chen Heng.

To most people, they did not know what was happening in this city. They could not see the curse energy hiding in the city at all.

A deep darkness began to cover this city, and the ordinary people were none the wiser.

This situation was quite shocking.

"It's becoming more active" Chen Heng muttered to himself.

As an observer, he could clearly sense the changes.

Back when he had first descended, there were some issues in this city, but it was not too obvious.

Now, the strange energy continuously descended and became more and more active.

It seemed that as time passed, this energy would become more and more terrifying until it devoured the city.

"However, this world's energy system seems to be built on curses" Chen Heng thought to himself as he walked.

After listening to Chen Rou's calls, he knew about some of the government's plans.

From what he had heard, even though Cursed Lands were terrifying, this world's people still had ways of dealing with them.

In a while, the Alliance would come and suppress the Cursed Land.

What Chen Rou and the others needed to do was stall for time before the Alliance arrived.

It seemed that the people of this world were not helpless in front of curses.

At the very least, the Alliance represented the greatest force in this world and could fight against the curses.

Chen Heng wondered how this force would appear.

Based on Chen Heng's guesses, they would most likely be rooted in curses as well.

As for the specifics,he had no idea.

However, he was looking forward to how things would play out.

Following this, Chen Heng began to walk towards his destination.

Time gradually passed.

In the blink of an eye, many days once again passed.

The ordinary people in the city continued about their lives, not noticing that anything was different.

In order to prevent any chaos and panic, the government had locked down all information, and almost no one knew about the Cursed Land.

However, to another group in this city, these days had been completely different.

"Are we inside?" a voice sounded out from within the black fog.

Wearing a thick protective suit, Chen Rou advanced slowly with great difficulty.

The surroundings were filled with fog; even though it was still daylight outside, it was like night here.

It seemed that because of the influence of the Cursed Land's power, this place had become a unique domain that had been completely cut off from the outside world.

"Has it reached such a state already?" Chen Rou's expression was quite grim as she looked around.

From the feeling they got, it was as if they had walked into a completely different domain.

This place was completely different from the outside world and was filled with energy particles.

If an ordinary person stayed with her for an extended period of time, they would be affected by those energy particles and become mutated.

Chen Rou and the others had made mental preparations, but the Cursed Land before them still greatly shocked them.

From what they could sense, this Cursed Land's environment was a bit too intense.

"The curse energy density in the surroundings is more than ten times that of other Cursed Lands" Chen Rou took out a device as she sighed, "This place"

Following this, as Chen Rou and the others watched on, some changes happened in the fog in the distance.

Hazy figures walked forwards, looking humanoid.

"Be careful."

Seeing this scene, everyone became wary and made preparations to fight.

From when they had arrived here, they had encountered all kinds of dangers.

Within the Cursed Land, there were many creatures and monsters born from curses.

In order to reach here, they had already lost a few people.

It seemed that a new danger was approaching.

However, after the beings within the fog came out, they were once again stunned.

The ones walking out from the fog were humans.

Those people wore army uniforms and moved incredibly slowly. Many of them were covered in blood, seeming quite terrifying.

"This is"

Seeing this scene, Chen Rou was dumbfounded and quickly came to her senses, "The elite team that we sent in"

Before, in order to explore this Cursed Land, they had sent many government elites.

Among them, there were Curse Bearers and professionals from the army.

However, they had all fallen here.

"Did they not die?" someone wondered.

Indeed, these people were still moving and still seemed alive.

However, no one present was nave enough to think that these people were really still living.

Even if they were not dead, they were not the same people.

Following this, a shocking scene unfolded.

As the people came closer, they seemed to sense the living people and raised their heads. Under the dim lighting, rotten and incomplete faces were revealed.

It was evident that they had long since died, and they were just corpses that had been reanimated through some kind of power.

Chen Rou and the others did not know what was behind this, but it seemed that their old comrades would now become their opponents.

"Everyone make preparations"

Standing there and looking at this scene, Chen Rou deeply breathed in and said, "Prepare to charge in"

............

By her side, no one else said anything but they all nodded simultaneously.

Following this, they all rushed forwards.

...

"The Holy Mother descended to the world, bringing the first flames and warmth"

Within the large church, standing on the platform, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he wore Priest robes and spoke softly.

He told many legends about the Holy Mother; even though they were usually quite boring, the way he told them had a certain charm to them, making people want to continue to listen.

One of the reasons for this was because Chen Heng's speaking abilities were quite good, and he had enough knowledge of the Holy Mother's legends.

Even though he had not come into contact with the Holy Mother Church for too long, with his talent, he had already surpassed the middle-aged Father.

Moreover, in terms of speaking, he was much more proficient than the Father.

Of course, that was not enough to achieve such an effect.

No matter how well he spoke, if it was just like that, people would become bored after a few times.

The reason why he could achieve such an effect was because of the support of his mental energy and divine energy.

As he spoke, he would use his mental energy to form a resonance with other people's minds, causing his emotions to resonate with theirs.

This made it easy for him to hold their attention.

Moreover, his divine energy allowed him to create a good atmosphere, allowing the congregants to feel a satisfaction in their souls.

The combination of this was what achieved this good effect.

That was why he was able to attract so many people compared to the middle-aged Father.

If it wasn't for those energies, he would not have been able to do such a thing either.

As time gradually passed, a clear bell sound rang out.

Hearing this, Chen Heng looked up and smiled before saying, "Today's sermon will conclude here. If you are interested in hearing more, feel free to come next time."

After saying this, he walked down.

Below, everyone seemed like they were still immersed in the sermon, and some people had tears on their faces, looking incredibly moved.

After that sermon, everyone's souls felt incredibly satisfied.

Before, many of them were filled with confusion or sorrow.

After that sermon, those negative feelings retreated, leaving behind a feeling of warmth.

"That was so good"

A black-robed figure slowly stood up as he sighed, "How many years has it been after that day, I actually feel like crying."

He felt that feeling in his heart as he spoke.

"Yes, I also feel amazing."

A young man nearby nodded and sighed, "Who would have thought that a savage girl's little brother would have such abilities

"Just by listening to him speak, I feel that my soul has transformed."

"How incomprehensible in the past, I heard that there were many unique things in the world, and that some people, despite not being Curse Bearers, had amazing powers"

A black-robed elder said, "This Priest might be such a person. However, different from the people I've seen in the past, this Priest's powers are much more unique and practical"

Standing by the side, the young man thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Indeed, they had met many people with abilities before.

However, all of them were incredibly weak, and some were not much better than ordinary people.

Some could release electricity or could create flames. It looked quite good, but it was not actually very useful.

Those who could release electricity could barely compare to a small battery, while those who could create flames could barely light a cigarette.

Compared to them, this boy's ability seemed much more useful.

Just the fact that he could affect others' souls and minds was very valuable.

If used well, this could be very useful.
